The Studio started a special DSD thread with 2 programs :
1. Scrap-Athlon which basically a series of Speed Scraps hosted by The Studio Designer. It is held from 3pm - 10pm EST, and every hour different designers will give links to their kit to be used on our design. The prize is November Thankful Mega collaboration kit by designers. I didn't join this because unfortunately the time was not good. 3 pm EST means 2 am WIB! I didn't want to wake up all night just to do Speed Scrap. More over, Sunday is Idul Adha so I have to wake up early for my prayer. So, I had to pass this one....
2. Granting Wishlist
What we have to do is just go to the SHOP and put our desirable kits into the wish list, then come back to the thread to sign up. I put a lot of stuff in my wish list and just now, I got an email like this :Hi Nadia, one of your wishes has been granted, you can "buy" digilicious' kit Pickles and Icecream Kit. Just use this coupon code: WLe82cxxxx, expires: Nov 30th 2011.
I'm so happy... This is the second time I got coupon from The Studion. The first one was when I won The Studio LOTW 2 weeks ago...
I think, I'm gonna scrap my old pregnancy photos with this kit. It will be perfect....
Ginger Scraps threw more exciting programs. From 40% sale, challenges with prizes until various kind of Speed Scrap. Since Friday, I've been doing as many pages as possible, including my CT duties for Marie H Designs on her new DSD Grab Bag 4 Seasons I did earlier. I finished 3 LO's for Summer, Fall and Winter seasons. For the Spring season, I used it to finish Template Challenge this morning after finishing Speed Scrap with Marie.
Since yesterday, my eyes were glued to computer. Stand by the computer with opened FORUM window. Checking if out of nowhere designers post a thread. Most of them offer to grant a kit wishes by 3 lucky participants. So, all we have to do was to check their stores first and pick which kit we wished to have and then post it to the thread. The rest, just wait patietnly until .... if we're lucky, they would PM us to give out the winning new. I think, I've posted 4-5 thread since yesterday. Looking forward to winning some of it....
Other scrapbooking terms that I've just found out is RAK which stands for Random Act of Kindness given by designers. It's like giving 3 wishes, or discount coupon, or giving prize for wearing their blinkie. You know what, I've finished 5 pages today! 3 for challenges and 2 for speed scrap. Here are my pages today :
This one is for Speed and Scrap with Marie H (Kit : Country Boy by Marie H Design)
Step 1 : Take 2 papers of your choice. Take one for your background and cut a 10x6 in rectangle (3000 x 1800) to place it on the bottom half of your layout.
Step 2 : Frame or photomate your 2 photos on that you place on your smaller paper and that you overlap one over the other a bit.
Step 3 : Cluster 2 sides of your smaller paper with a minimum of 6 different elements. It can be only 2 half not full sides and you can duplicate them.
Step 4 : Place at least 1 ribbon and 2 elements around the photos.
Step 5 : Place a title with at least 1 word bigger than the other(s)
This one is for Speed and Scrap with Connie Prince (Papers and Buttons : Duckling Rain by Marie H, Frames and Elements : Sea Creatures by Digital Creations from Millstream Cottage Design)
This one is for Template Challenge (Kit : Spring Grab Bag by Marie H Design)
This one is for Recipe Challenge (Kit : Country Boy & Duckling Rain by Marie H Design)

It's a perfect kit to start doing New Batch challenge. I've been longing to re-do the Kungfu Panda movie lay out. And now I can....
And these two are my other pages for 2 last Speed Crap sessions :
Speed Scrap with Kathy Winter -- Sunday 1:00 pm EST
Step 1: Chose 2 background papers both solid to create a stacked background. But if you have the skills to blend, then blend a patterned and solid paper together as 1 of your papers for a unique affect. This can be accomplished with your eraser tool set as a brush and then "brushing" away sections of the solid paper to show the patterned paper placed beneath. You might want to experiment with different brushes so you don't erase away too much.
Step 2: Chose 1 or 2 photos and crop in a circle to create a photo cluster anywhere on your layout.
Step 3: Add 5 - 6 flowers to your cluster along with other living elements like animals, bugs, leaves. The more the merrier when it comes to a photo cluster to really make it eyepopping.
Step 4: Incorporate some string or winding ribbons through out your cluster.
Step 5: Incorporate some fasteners, like buttons, staples, tape, or brads anywhere on your layout.
Step 6: Use at least 1 alpha (not a font) to create a title for you layout.
Step 7: Shadow, date and add anything else you think your layout might need! That's it your done.
The layouts need to be posted in the thread by 1:00 PM EST on Monday to qualify for the coupon code. Everyone that completes the challenge will receive a PM on Monday afternoon with coupon code for $5.00 to her store.
